Don't buy the game again. Upgrade it. Same box on the shelf, a new game on the table.
What it's about
Bring your first edition up to the second edition level
Defenders of the Wild is the award-winning cooperative game of animals versus machines by T.L. Simons, with game design by Henry Audubon and illustrations by Meg Lemieur for Outlandish Games. In 2026, the 2nd edition arrives, with revised gameplay and new components.
This Upgrade Kit is designed for those who already own the first edition: by following a few steps, your copy of Defenders of the Wild will fully transition to the rules and components of the 2nd edition. No need to buy the entire game again.
And the best part: all new elements are designed to fit into the box you already have. Same box, same spot on the shelf — but an updated and smoother Defenders of the Wild on the table.
What changes with the upgrade
Everything the 2nd edition brings to the table
Streamlined rules
Approximately 30% fewer rules: many exceptions and special cases removed. The game remains deep but is explained and played faster.
Tighter actions
Recalibrated action economy and shorter games. Every turn matters more, with no downtime.
New machine components
The enemy gets an upgrade. New machine components change the pace and threat of the invasion.
Redesigned board
An improved board design, more legible and functional during gameplay.
Revised defenders
Character abilities have been updated for better balance between factions.
More variety in every game
Greater variability: updated rules maximize emerging puzzles that change with each session.
It's for you if…
- You already own the 1st edition of Defenders of the Wild and want the latest rules and components
- You want more streamlined games and greater variety without buying the whole game again
It's not for you if…
- You don't own the base game — this is an upgrade kit, not a standalone game
- You're looking for the Critter Moon expansion: it's a separate product and not included here
🌍 The updated rules and cards are in English.
Same box on the shelf, a new game on the table. That's the beauty of a good upgrade.
